Attendance Area Adjustment Option E & Options Overview
“Policy Change” Options Overview
In December, Board OK’d Sharing Options that Rely on Policy Changes
3
Two new options respond to some AAAC requests and a third addresses diversity criterion in a different way
These are not Board proposed options
The Board has enabled presentation and discussion of these optionsWhether the Board would accept one of these options or the
associated policy changes is another question, assuming they even receive AAAC support
Three Policy-Change Options
4
Option C, which would consolidate all K-5 TWI at new Sugar Creek (discussed on 12/19)
Option D, which would not change K-5 TWI, but would create a Country View/Sugar Creek K-2/3-5 pair (also on 12/19)
Option E, which continues to direct most enrollment growth to Country View and Glacier Edge, with expectation that a 5th
standard elementary school would be built to relieve their capacity issues (option to be discussed tonight)
Option E Presentation
Option E Overview
6
Continues capacity challenges at Country View and Glacier Edge
Try to extend capacity in those two schools longer by shifting more limited neighborhoods to Sugar Creek and Stoner Prairie
Anticipate construction of 5th standard elementary school near south or east edge of City of Verona by the mid-2020s
Minimize multiple shifts for neighborhoods affected by the 2016-17 shifts
No TWI or charter policy changes from current
Several similarities to Option A
Neighborhoods & ’18-’19 Elementary Attendance Areas
7
Neighborhoods temporarily relocated to CV in 2016
Remember what happens at Country View Elementary with no changes?

NOTE: This chart is based on several assumptions, including no changes to 2018-19 attendance areas, no changes in existing school capacity or construction of new schools, no changes in participation in VASD’s charter schools and TWI program, and the end of “grandfathering” of Glacier Edge students residing in the current County View attendance area.

Option E Dashboard Summary
13
Diversity appears comparable to today; diversity challenges may grow with future suburban 5th elementary school in this or any other option
Obvious capacity challenges at Country View and Glacier Edge; could be addressed if neighborhoods 20-22, 26-33 shifted to future south/east 5th
school (~350 “home” students projected there in 2025)
~54% attend closest school, down from ~~65% today
Mixed bussing impact; some bussing past closer school from #26/27
~12% of non-TWI/charter students change schools, ~½ in #58
Two obvious attendance area contiguity breaks
Neighborhood unity arguably better than today
Middle school feeder path appears workable
Option E Discussion
Overview of Options A through E
Options A through E in Brief
16
Option Overview
AAttempts to minimize changes from current attendance areas while unifying Verona Road neighborhoods and accounting for Sugar Creek and Stoner Prairie capacity increases.
BAttempts to maximize neighboring Two-Way Immersion (TWI) and non-TWI students attending same elementary school (particularly in Verona Road corridor) while retaining TWI at both Glacier Edge and Sugar Creek.
CConsolidates K-5 TWI at Sugar Creek, providing school with a District-wide attendance area and requiring other schools to absorb current Sugar Creek attendance area for non-TWI students.
D Establishes Country View and Sugar Creek as a K-2/3-5 school pair with a single attendance area / includes no locational changes to TWI.
EAttempts to minimize changes from current attendance areas and sends Country View over capacity sooner and greater, suggesting a 5th elementary school mainly to relieve it (CV) and Glacier Edge before 2025.
Option A Map
17
MDRoffers’ Option A Dashboard Summary
18
Diversity stats may be more equalized than today New Sugar Creek capacity tested first, though not
significant growth after Probably like all options, Option A suggests need for new
elementary school before 2030 ~57% attend closest school, down from ~~65% today ~20% of students change schools (not inc. TWI/charter) Neighborhood #9 contiguity break continues Neighborhood unity may improve More work on ES to MS path was required
Option B Map
19
MDRoffers’ Option B Dashboard Summary
20
Diversity stats likely less equalized than today; Verona Road shift significantly affects Country View and Sugar Creek
Stoner Prairie and Glacier Edge capacity tested first, though Glacier Edge down from today and stabilizing
~60% attend closest school, down from ~~65% today ~48% of students change schools (not inc. TWI/charter) Contiguity is good, especially considering MMSD peninsula Neighborhood unity seems to improve; Sugar Creek TWI
and non-TWI neighborhood students unified Reasonable ES to MS path, w/ balanced diversity prospect
Option C Map
21
MDRoffers’ Option C Dashboard Summary
22
Diversity percentages highest at Sugar Creek; lowest at Glacier Edge even with some effort
Phase-in of more TWI sections at Sugar Creek results in immediate capacity challenges at other schools
~53% attend closest school, down from ~~65% today
Mixed bussing impact: more kids and distance; more efficient routes?
~35% of non-TWI/charter students change schools, plus Glacier Edge TWI shifts to Sugar Creek
Contiguous but large attendance areas because there is one less area
Neighborhood unity arguably better, but TWI/non-TWI neighbors never in same school
Middle school feeder path is a bit cloudy, but probably workable
Option D Map
23
MDRoffers’ Option D Dashboard Summary
24
Diversity percentages even closer than today, except perhaps ELLs
Imperfect capacity difference between Country View & Sugar Creek accelerates capacity issues at other schools
Unlike Option C, no clear path for possible expansion of TWI
~67% attend closest school, about the same as today
Bussing: option takes advantage of overlapping walking zones and has contiguous attendance areas, but they are large
~14% of non-TWI/charter students change schools, but students assigned to County View and Sugar Creek would also have change
Neighborhood unity arguably better than today
Middle school path seems doable
AAAC Preliminary Evaluation of Options A-D
25
Preliminary Ranking Against “Student Diversity” Criterion Option D (ave. 5.0 “yes” votes per group) Option A (2.75) Option C (1.0) Option B (0.25)
Preliminary Ranking Against All Other 7 Criteria Combined Option D (24.25 “yes” votes per group) Option B (22.5) Option A (21.25) Option C (14.25)
Rankings are preliminary, imperfect, and do not include Option E!

Foundational Information
Enrollment Projections—Elementary Schools (K-5)
29
693 more VASD elementary school students between 2018 & 2030 Assuming 2018-2019 attendance areas & no charter school changesCountry View enrollment would continue to increase dramaticallyGlacier Edge would continue to have capacity issues Stoner Prairie and Sugar Creek would have excess capacity for years “K-wing” building would have excess capacity for charter schools
New elementary school will likely be required sometime between 2025 and 2030

Current Elementary to Middle School Transitions
37
All of current Glacier Edge and Stoner Prairie ES attendance areas are in Savannah Oaks MS attendance area
All of current Sugar Creek ES attendance area is in the Badger Ridge MS attendance area
The Country View ES attendance area is currently split between the two middle school attendance areas—meaning that Country View “graduates” attend different middle schools depending on where they live
